Financial Relief Method

 * – (View AfD) (View log)

Author has a history of writing articles that directly or indirectly promote a non-notable lawyer, Gerald Wolfe. This is no exception. If you actually try to access the references, they are either not relevant, trivial directory listings, or just broken links. The term itself ("Financial Relief Method") does not appear to be notable. Ultimately, this article is attempting to inappropriately promote the lawyer. PROD declined by author without reasons (after being given a Level 3 warning about writing articles about Gerald Wolfe.) Singularity42 (talk) 01:13, 21 November 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete Fails WP:NOTADVERTISING and WP:GNG since searching shows the terminology is not widely used. Johnuniq (talk) 03:10, 21 November 2009 (UTC)

From the original author: This article is not about Gerald Wolfe. I was trying to post a new section on a response to common financial crisis. This term has been mentioned several times. I realized that one link was broken and have replaced it with an objective press release that mentions this company and their approach to Financial Relief. I can't help it if it's a new term and doesn't have many cites or if many cites are from the company that initially created it. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Wiki publishing   (talk • contribs)  12:54, 21 November 2009 (UTC)
 * How is this article not about Gerald Wolfe? Except for the link to the Wikipedia article on Real estate, every other link is to something about Gerald Wolfe (his business directories, press releases from groups that he runs, etc.). The article is specifcally implying that Gerald Wolfe is the person to talk to about this so-called method. There are no independent references to "Financial Relief Method", the topic that is suppose to be the subject of this article.


 * Even if this article is not an ad for Gerald Wolfe,Finanical Relief Method is not notable. A Google search reveals only two hits (not including Wikipedia or Wikipedia mirrors). From your own comments: "I can't help it if it's a new term and doesn't have many cites or if many cites are from the company that initially created it." That means it is not notable.

From the author: Gerald Wolf is one of the creators. It is not about him; it is about his idea. It is notable as it has been recognized recently as an up and coming method during the recession. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Wiki publishing  (talk • contribs)  12:38 21 November 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete - even removing the advertising leaves it as non-notable. I also did a search, by the way. Dougweller (talk) 18:57, 21 November 2009 (UTC)
